About Charleston Santa Teresa Cartagena

Charleston Santa Teresa rises from the cobblestone streets of Cartagena's historic El Centro district, where colonial architecture meets Caribbean light.

The hotel occupies a restored 18th-century building with views across red-tile rooftops toward the walled city's edges and the sea beyond.

Stone archways, interior courtyards, and period details create distinct backdrops for ceremonies and receptions within walking distance of Cartagena's most iconic plazas.

I stayed at Charleston Santa Teresa Cartagena for a wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. The room was stunning — elegant, spacious, and truly luxurious. Every detail throughout the hotel felt refined and high-end.
